RICS Home Survey — Level 2

Practitioners of the RICS Home Survey Standard 2020

A Level 2 survey suits a broad range of conventionally built properties and advises on factual information on significant aspects of the condition of the property to the prospective purchaser.

The survey is carried out under conditions of engagement agreed with the surveyor. For straightforward properties where the client requires no out-of-the-ordinary advice, the report may be in a standard format.

This service suits clients seeking a professional opinion at an economic price and an intermediate level, but excludes tests, and may recommend further investigation only where felt justified by the surveyor. The inspection is visual but not invasive; the report describes the condition of elements and the importance of defects found, though advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance is more concise than in a Level 3 survey. Historic, poorly maintained and non-standard properties are not suitable for this level of survey.
